While we will never be the mighty NRA--or even the GOA (although most of us belong to those organizations), we are introducing women to shooting, and in many cases, taking away their fear of guns.
By the time they have finished one of our "Ladies Learn to Shoot" days, we've pretty well gotten them hooked on shooting.
We do give them some background in the politics of the 2A--and give them a bit of history in the left wing/right wing approach to our right to keep and bear arms, along with very serious, intensive safety lessons.
We try to keep everything as inexpensive as possible for our classes--going around and asking for donations of ammo--ear and eye protection, and the loan of lots of guns for the ladies to try out. We even are often able to get a gun range to donate us a few hours to hold one of our classes.
Our aim is to get them excited about shooting, and the politics will follow in most cases. If we can just make them aware of the struggle we have to maintain our rights, we have a new convert to the cause. Of course, one of the joys of doing what we do is seeing women learn to take responsibility for their own self-defense. Many of these women who first shoot a gun at one of classes go on to take shooting and self defense very seriously, and become quite proficient shooters.
If anyone here would like to join us and help in our fight to save the Second Amendment, we welcome you. We need all the volunteers we can get!
